Neural Correlates Flashcards
Neural correlates
Structural and functional changes
In the brain that result
In symptoms of
Disorder e.g. schizophrenia
Dopamine
A NTM
has excitatory effect
Linked to pleasure
HyPERdopamingeric
HIGH
Levels of dopamine activity in subcortex
Part of OG HYP
E.g. in Brocas= speech poverty
HyPOdopamingeric
LOW
levels of dopamine activity in cortex
Part of UPDATED hyp
E.g. causes avolition
Ventral Stratium
Part of limbic system
E.g. motivation, pleasure- avolition
Super Temporal Gyrus
Comp of Lang
Smaller in schizophrenic
Neg corr to hallucination severity
Anterior cingulate gyrus
Limbic system
Emotions x behaviour
Lowered activity- avolition
AO3 ❌
Ripke- 108 other genes x NTMS
E.g. seratonin
SCHZ too complex by FX by numerous
Need more holistic approach
AO3 ✅
Success of drug trials
E.g. more effective than placebo
Supports dopamine hyp
AO3 ✅❌ Tenn
Enduced SCHZ In rats
Supports dopamine hyp as effectively relieved sypms
❌ Unethical x different
